Due September 2009!

Morning ladies. How are you all feeling today? Ive been getting waves of nausea again but nothing thats too bad or unmanagable.

DH and I had a dentist check up yesterday. All went well, except for the times I was gagging on the silly mouth guard thingys with fluoride in them . I have some fillings to have done in March, so Im hoping I'll be long over the MS by then.

Laurz how are you going today??

Hi
Im ok today still feeling a bit sick and still crampy but after reading on the net it sound pretty common for early pregnancy and I remember cramping with Guy right throughout first trimester. Hows everyone else doing?
Anyone know when its time to get ahold of a midwife? Last time i had to use a hospital midwife because I mucked around and didnt try to find one until I was 10 weeks - too late.

hi all, sorry I haven't posted for a while. yes we both want to find out the sex of the baby :) I am not bothered either way as long as it's a baby I'm happy :) I have also been having a bit of cramping, only very mild though, have had worse during af. I have been spotting for the last 3 days, has stopped today thank goodness have been so worried. has been very faint and occasional, but don't really know what is normal in pregnancy. go to doctor tomorrow anyway

Good to hear that spotting has stopped, Star.

I don't know about the right time to find a midwife, Laurz. I guess it wouldn't hurt to give one a call and have a chat. Suppose this should be on my 'to do' list as well lol.

Way to go on the sorting, Amy. I'm finding I don't have the energy to do much at the moment.

Pretty cool you have MS already, Rhianna. Your preggy hormones must be majorly kicking in. I didn't get MS last time, food aversion was my thing. It will be interesting to see if the same thing happens this time around.

I, well DF more than me, has decided to wait until after the 10 week scan to tell family. DD needs to be the first one of them to know.

Are any of you keeping pregnancy diaries? I wrote one last time around. I gave it to DF to read the other night. He was quite blown away with the things that I went though at the time. The other day I bought a notebook for this pregnancy. I just put the date, how many weeks I am, how I'm feeling, whats happening, who I've told and a list of baby names and things I need.

Personal question... how do you feel about being 'intimate' with your partners at the moment? I'm fine with it, but DF has said he might hurt baby so it might not be such a good idea. I think baby is cushioned enough in there to not be at all harmed. What do you all think?

fallen- I like your idea of a pregnancy diary, what other sorts of things did you write in it did you write everyday or just when something significant happened.
Also am trying to work out your profile pic???

haha star169 - I've also been trying to work out Fallen's profile pic! I've been totally confused for ages now - all I can see is a lady's tummy with her legs and an apple on her naughty bits! haha I can't see anything else no matter how hard I try. Fallen - please advise!!! haha

I do like your diary idea Fallen - although I don't really have much to write in it at the moment. The lack of preggy symptoms are leaving me a little worried to be honest - will see what the doc says on Tuesday....

And in regard to the BD (do we still call it that ?!) I'm not really that interested - I'm preoccupied with wondering how the baby is and until I know that everything is ok I don't think I really care about anything else. DH is still keen as though - surprisingly after all I put him through the last couple of months!

amykt- haha thats what I saw in fallens pic too!
I am the same as you, I don't want to get my hopes too high yet as I am not having morning sickness, cravings/aversions or any other super obvious symptoms, but then again I'm sure its just all in my head and baby will be fine. Will probably feel better after the doctor tomorrow.

Wow this thread has gotten busy in the past little while!

The picture is a piece of digital art by a friend of mine. I love it.

I wrote whenever I felt the urge in my pregnancy journal. Sometimes specific stuff. Sometimes just how I was feeling. It helped to have an outlet for that sort of thing as I was doing the whole pregnancy/baby thing by myself that time.

Ok according to the doc im due 2nd september. Im gutted I wanted it to be 1st September. I worked it out on my period and did the calculation on like 5 different sites they all said 1st September. Im going to keep saying 1st september until I have my dating scan then ill have a real date.
Getting my bloods done tomorrow morning - slightly nervous about levels and things. Hows the symptoms going with everyone. I am feeling so sick - I wonder if its all in my head.

I know how you feel Laurz, My Dr. worked me out to be 25th July, then had a scan and turned out that I was August 1st. So I had to go back a whole week.
Goodluck for your bloods and to all the September mums.
